Shen Yulou gently patted Chi Yuan's head, soothing his ever-present desire to become a pervert.
"Go, I will come to find you."
Chi Yuan kissed his lower lip a few times, then patted his bottom and told him to go out.
When are you coming to see me?
The little rascal turned into a bug and curled up on Shen's father's head to catch up on his sleep. Shen Meiren had just stepped out the door when she couldn't wait to jump back in.
The silver ornaments on her head swayed, the bells on her feet jingled softly, and her indigo-dyed Miao clothing was slightly loose.
The wide trouser legs occasionally revealed a few striking red patches as the feet moved.
He smiled sweetly as he looked at the pond in the house, which was being worshipped with its back to him in the smoke.
Men who are serious about their work are the most attractive.
Shen Yulou thought that the most alluring beauty was the hazy, indistinct kind.
Chi Yuan noticed Shen Yulou's gaze fixed on his back. He turned around and saw Shen Yulou's clean, white teeth when he smiled, as well as the two small dimples on the corners of his mouth.
Her eyes, like crescent moons, were curved and radiated a playful and lively charm.
There was a kind of beauty in a living person that he had never seen in most of his life.
Okay, not just any living person, but his lively sweetheart.
The rituals of offering sacrifices to the gods ceased, and the pain from the incense ash falling onto the back of his hand became insignificant.
Chi Yuan thought that the pure beauty bathed in sunlight was the most alluring.
"I'm leaving now, goodbye High Priest!"
Shen Yulou tiptoed and waved to Chi Yuan, then turned and carefully descended the steps before skipping away.
The fabric of his clothes fluttered with the boy's large movements, his hands swinging back and forth, and his sleeves swaying back and forth as well.
Who says there aren't beautiful butterflies in Miao areas? Isn't his little darling a beautiful blue-silver butterfly?
Chi Yuan wiped his hands, and the image of Shen Yulou rubbing his fingers with his tiger teeth while crying out flashed through his mind.
It stings and itches at the same time.
I only regret that I didn't keep the boy trapped for long enough; I should have kept him trapped longer.
Finally free, Shen Yulou felt like a free bird, able to fly and fly everywhere.
Why does my back always feel itchy?
That wicked dog Chi Yuan must still be thinking about him, right?
Shen Meiren muttered something unsatisfactorily, then stepped across the stream using the neatly arranged stones.
This large stream is the most important river in the Miao region, called the Miao River, and it connects to a large vertical waterfall not far away.
Below the waterfall lies a flat stream, cascading down in layers, nurturing generations of Miao people in the Miao region.
"Silver ornaments jingle in the sunset glow, embroidered robes dance in the breeze..."
As he walked slower, he could hear someone singing by the stream; it was a boatman from the neighboring village.
I heard he sings every day, and he's been doing it for many, many years.
"Is the Holy Son interested in the boatman?"
The servants, seeing Shen Yulou standing still, assumed he was curious about the boatman's background.
In fact, Shen Yulou was indeed curious.
"I heard that this boatman has been singing the same song on the Miao River for many years. Is there any reason for that?"
He bent down and patted the clear water beneath his feet; several small black fish leaped and twitched at his fingertips.
Looking up, the small boat was swaying and rocking unsteadily on the stream because of the powerful rushing water from the large waterfall behind it.
Legend has it that the source of the Miao River is the Heavenly Lake where divine birds dwell, and the end is the gateway to a fairyland.
Who knows?
In any case, Shen Yulou neither went to the source of the Miao River to see the divine bird, nor went to the end of the Miao River to reach the fairyland.
Have you met Chi Yuan? Perhaps Chi Yuan knows.
He can ask Chi Yuan tonight!
Don't ask why Shen Yulou knew Chi Yuan would come tonight; he just knew.
"Ah~ I've planted a love potion for you... to accompany you to the ends of the earth for a lifetime..."
The boatman still stood at the bow of the boat, singing loudly, while the attendant told Shen Yulou the boatman's story.
